Description

Celebrate the life of Dr. King with this engaging Martin Luther King Jr. STEM Activity. Students will learn about the March on Washington through reading and research. Then, they'll create a 3D map of the march. Spark critical thinking with this inspiring lesson about civil rights.

I've included tons in this resource, and don't expect you to use everything. I did this so that you'll have an opportunity to pick and choose what works best for you and your students.

This resource includes:

  • objectives
  • 5E lesson plan
  • extra resources (websites, book recommendations, videos)
  • reading passage with comprehension questions
  • answer key
  • optional booklet
  • STEM planning page
  • reflection sheet
  • teacher background information (includes pictures and tips)

Students will create a 3D model of Washington. Then they'll navigate Dr. King through the map using only a magnet to replicate the March on Washington.

Each group will need:

  • variety of colored paper
  • one ruler
  • scissors
  • tape
